Teluk Bahang trip planner

Tucked between sandy beaches and a dammed reservoir, the sleepy fishing town of Teluk Bahang provides entrance to the small but wildlife-packed Penang National Park. Most tourists pass straight through on their way to the park, but the curious traveler will find some interesting things to do in Teluk Bahang itself. Most attractions in Teluk Bahang stick to the nature theme, with parks, farms, and gardens showcasing various aspects of local plant and animal life. Other highlights include local culture and art displayed in museums, and the seafood fresh off the local fishing boats featuring prominently in eateries. Outside the village, roadside stalls sell durian, the extremely pungent local fruit also known as the "king of fruits." Teluk Bahang is in Penang Island.
